Como<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>Now, sources say that Brendan Rodgers\u2019 side are targeting a new striker and winger to fill the void left by the pair of sales.<\/p>\n<p>Next season, Celtic are aiming to win their fifth Scottish Premiership title in a row, as well as produce another impressive run in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/tag\/champions-league\/\"

href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/tag\/celtic\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Celtic<\/a> are still yet to find a proper replacement for the Japanese international.<\/p>\n<p>The 30-year-old scored 10 league goals and picked up three assists in the first half of last season, meaning that the Hoops lost a major part of their frontline when he joined Rennes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/tag\/daizen-maeda\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Daizen Maeda<\/a> filled the void left by Kyogo in the second part of the campaign, but Rodgers will want a more permanent replacement this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Kuhn was also doing a lot of the heavy lifting in the forward line last season, scoring 10 goals and picking up eight assists in the Scottish Premiership, so his departure is equally as damaging.<\/p>\n<p>Celtic have brought in Shin Yamada at centre forward, but will be hoping for another addition at striker and on the wing before the window closes.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"

rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rangers and Celtic are set to battle it out to sign Serbian star Andrej Bacanin<\/a>, sources have told Football Insider.<\/p>\n<p>The 18-year-old is expected to leave Serbian Super League side FK Cukaricki this summer, with a number of big European teams interested.<\/p>\n<p>Sources say that the Glasgow pair lead the race for Bacanin but will have to fend off interest from the likes of Ajax and Udinese to secure his signature.<\/p>\n<p>Both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/tag\/rangers\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"
